This is kind of like engineering a car that can reach 300 mph. The local speed limit is still 65 more or less. Doesn't matter what the monthly fee is -- there's only so much Megan Fox mobile networks can handle.
Remember when you thought long and hard about how many minutes your plan should have and whether you can share them with the rest of the family? Rollover minutes, etc.
GBytes will eventually get there (more for less, shareable, etc.), but only when the providers have some new thing they can hook you with. Somehow mobile providers have been able to keep their revenues and profits while the fixed guys have been losing their head and blaming it on us.
The iPad is just the leading edge of this though. (I tend to break Apple gear at a rapid rate myself so I won't be getting another one.) I'm talking about a BIG bucket of data I can share amongst say a laptop, a tablet and a smartphone. They start doing that right and we can talk about cable-cutting for real....
Yes. 5GB is no where close to enough though. Super stingy when you've bought the iPad outright and LTE is supposed to be cheaper per bit. (Ha, ha, ha.)
Really isn't much to chose between these plans is there?
